Owls in the Family (Bantam Skylark Book)

I read this as a child and recently found it in a box in my parents basement. I am reading it to my six year old son. I have to explain a few things, like it is no longer allowed to go find yourself a pet owl, but he is enjoying the story. It has some other points of political incorrectness, but still an excellent story of boys outdoors.

Great heartwarming stories about a boy, 2 owls and a dog. I recommend this for all ages. The cover markets this as a childrens's book, but adults who like animals will love this story too. A bird lovers' delight!

OWLS IN THE FAMILY iS A great book to read as a class or as asfamily. In my case I read it as as class. reading is not my best subject. I never like to read.I read some books that wher pertty good but when I read this book it felt like I was in it.

Read Owls in the Family. It is a great book because it has lots of information about great horned owls. This book is about two boys, Bruce and Billy. They go on an adventure to find an owls nest. The boys end up getting two owls who become their best friends. The two owls Wol and Weeps become best friends. Billy's dog Mutt doesn't get along with Wol, but gets along with Weeps. Wol is always stealing Mutt's bone and he gets so annoyed. It's very exciting, funny, and an interesting book. Borrow it or buy it at your nearest bookstore.

If you're new to the writings of Farley Mowat, this book is a great place to start. You will love it. If you have kids, THEY will love it. Wol and Weeps, the two feathered protagonists, are two of the most lovable pets you'll ever read about in print. Wol especially steals the show when it comes to dealing with crows, dogs, skunks, and a really mean French teacher called Fifi.Make no mistake, Owls in the Family is a family treasure that deserves to be read time and again. Pick it up without hesitation!
